What are the precautions for summer confinement?

For many women, confinement in summer is a painful thing, because we all know that there are many taboos and principles in confinement in China. If they are violated, it may directly affect the recovery of the body, or cause more adverse effects and harm to one's body. Therefore, it is recommended that every woman who gives birth naturally should pay more attention to some issues of confinement.

1. The indoor temperature should not be too high and ventilation should be carried out frequently.

Be sure to avoid closing doors and windows, open windows frequently for ventilation, and keep the indoor air fresh. In order to prevent the new mother from catching a cold when ventilating the room, you can avoid using convection. When ventilating the room, let the new mother stay in another room, or open the windows of each room when she goes out to bask in the sun.

2. When the humidity in the air is too high, you can use the dehumidification function of the air conditioner.

The most suitable indoor humidity is around 55%.

3. When the weather is hot, you can use air conditioning, fans or hand fans.

The indoor temperature should be kept at around 25℃, which is suitable for the new mother to feel comfortable. If necessary, you can turn on the air conditioner or use a fan, but be sure to avoid blowing it directly on the new mother. The air conditioner filter must be rinsed regularly to prevent bacterial growth.

4. Brushing your teeth, washing your hair and taking a bath are all important.

It is best to take a shower. Some harmful old customs must be abandoned, such as not brushing teeth, washing hair, etc., which have no scientific basis at all. You should shower every day to keep your skin pores open and perspiration normal. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva when showering, but never douche or take a tub bath, otherwise it is easy to cause infection. After showering, be sure to dry your body to avoid catching a cold. Special attention should be paid to protecting teeth during the confinement period, because the mother's body loses a lot of calcium during pregnancy and delivery. Therefore, rinse your mouth after meals and brush your teeth before going to bed.

I wonder if you will also encounter this kind of confinement problem. If you want to better help yourself during the confinement period and speed up your body's recovery, then we need to pay more attention to and abide by these confinement precautions, especially in the summer, we should pay more attention to it so that we can have a more relaxed confinement period.
